Oregoo City Commercial club. Ill story of lha meeting was better lhan aome

of the (peakert were accorded clot attention and were generously and Im

Then Mr. Chapman utea tome more apace to tell of the speeches of Bruce

William Ullle. B. T. McBalo. Dr. H. 8. Mount, Dr. U A. Morris. Senator Dimlck.
Ury Stlpp and V. F. Cooper. What surprises us most Is the statement of
Brother Spence, who told u that Oregon baa the beat market road of any
tat In the union. We want to know. Ilarken to Mr. Spence:
1 am aurprlaed at the way In which the speakers have been knocking
Oregon." aald C. E. Spence, Maater of the State Orange, "when they run the
atate and Ita road down so acandaloualy. They talk about California and
Washington. Oregon baa pent more money, per capita, for her road than
liber on of thoe ttate. The difference 1 that they put their money all on
the main highway and Oregon mattered It out over ber market road. Ore
gon ha the beat ytem of market road of any date In the union."
The cam Mr. Benson, chairman of the highway commlaalon. Benson I
a millionaire and made bit own money. He ha done more for the cauae of
good road In Oregon than any other man. He ridiculed the Idea of building
lateral before the main highway. He poohpooed the notion of "pay as you go."
Then be wound up this way:
The only man that t on a cash basla now-a days I the peanut man. Who
want to be a peanut man all hi life? The man or the tate that doean't go
Into dobt doean't amount to muah. My advice la. If you want to aucceed and
become a millionaire, i to go Into debt; It la easy, but be ure you have a
erwvt Investment when rou ko Into debt
"Dont let ua keep on trying to lift ourelve out of the mud by the boot

CENTURY OLD POSITIONS.
One hundred years aco the state
prisons of this country were hell holes
Tho unfortunate inmates were placed
in dark dungeons, clothed in striped
suits, shackled to the Btone wall, fel
In little batter thun a bread and water
diet and left to solitude. No helnini;
hand was extended to them. No edu
cation as provided. Hj suggestion
was offered to cause them to lead de
cent lives. They were treated like
beasts und they became beasts. Upon
releaso they preyed ugaln upon so
ciety, without Inspiration for another
kind of life, with tho ultimate result
their nturn to the prison cell.
Within the last decade conditions
in many states have materially
changed for the better. While pen il
administrators have perhaps been
slow to recojrnize the economic evil
surrounding the old system, the -it
tention of thinking men and women
became focused upon the prison situ
ntloi. as it then existed. The problem
of runishing for law-breaking became
more and more one ot economic vaiuc
to the country, and gradually prison
reform felt its way, until todiy in
m:.ny states there are modern prisons,
Just as there are modarn hospitals,
and the people of these states have
found that a modern well equipped
prison, with plenty of light and air.
with ork for the inmate, to do, i a
paying proposition. They have tlso
found that a modern prison is simply
an economic investment that brings
fmnncial returns, r.s is noted in the
states of Michigan and Minnesota,

fjr'h i'.h a grubFiake, and with a new
view of life. The percentage of m-'n
returned to the prisons in these states
h; .:,-na!l indeed.
If the editorial writer in the Oregon
City Cmi-icr hud been writing one
hundred years azi, lie would have
found many sympathizers with his
position. It is evident, from a perusa'
ot tho article rbat appe-.red in the
Courier in its last Issue, that the writ
er knows nothing of the new penalogy
and that he docs not rcr.lize that the
attitude he takes on the construction
of a new penitentiary in Oregon is ec
onomically unsound, and that the
stato can nalie an Investment that
will pay.
The peoplo of Oregon will be ashed
to indorse a measure at the June elec
tion appropriating $100,000 a year for
four years for the establishment of a
correct penalogical system. Every leg
islature is compelled to nppropriate
in excess of $100,000 for the mainten
ance of the prison, as apalnsl the sys
tera in Minnesota, where the Still

LIBERAL, Or., April 2. (Editor
Enterprise) I own an interest in a
farm of 160 acres near Liberal,
Clackamas county. It is as good a
farm a. lay out of doors and pro
duces most anything that river bot
tom land will produce, being on the
Molalla river. The road leading to
this farm from Liberal is anything
but a good road. The Willamette
Valley Southern railway and the
Southern Pacific company, electric
and steam lines respectively, are with
in 1 1-2 miles of the house, still at
times only by horseback can we reach
the station.
The county road leading to Molal
la from Oregon City is in passable
condition, still it, too, is anything
but a proper kind of road for the
traffic offering.
These conditions are such as to
make me want good roads by any
honorable method proposed.
The road bonding measure now be
fore the people proposes to give to
certain localities hard surfaced roads
at State expense, but at no greater
expense than at present Tho bill to
be voted upon by the people June 4,
names the roads to get such state
aid. None of these proposed roads
named In'the bill comes very close to
Liberal, the nearest point possibly be
ing Canby, but still I am in favor of
the bond issue for the reason that
some of my fellow farm owners will
thereby get out of the mud. And
when they get out of the mud they
will be favorable later to helping my
neighbors and myself get out.
I am convinced that there ia only
ono way for me to get good roads in
my distr'ct and that is to help my
self get them, and, in this instance as
in most others by helping my fellow
in distress I will be helping myself,
because the County commissioners are
now spending large sums annually on
the Pacific Highway to keep it in
passable condition and when that
road is once built of .permanent ma
terial I know that there will be no
more county expense on that sec
tion of road, thus leaving more money
in the treasury at the command of the
commissioners for construction and
repairs of the other roads, one of the
most important of which is the Mo-
lalal road.
Probably the only way I will ever
see good roads from Liberal to the
farm will be through a system of
special taxes each year, but if the
Molalla road gets its treatment next
after the Canby road, the people
around Liberal will sea to it that the
roads leading to the center are re
built, I am for bonds and I hope to so
interest all my neighbors in the prop
osition that this district will be on
the right side when the votes are
counted.
